tain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my mventlon is: to provide a novel anti-slippingfattachment for horseshoes, having provision whereby the device may be readily applied; to and removed; from 1 threaded pin 12 which projects fixedly from the inner end thereof and through-and be yond the slot 9 in the second section 6; and Jscrewed on to the end of the pin 12 is a nut horseshoes, adjusted to fit hors'eshoes 'of different sizes, and whereby the'jparts thereof may be readily assembled anddisassembled as desired. c

With the above and related objects in View, my invented attachment consists of the elements and the combinations'of themhereinafter described andclaimed. In the accompanying drawings,illustrat Figure 1 is a side view of my improved attachment applied'tofa horseshoe,

Fig. 2 is a bottom View thereof,

Fig. 3 is a rear view thereof, and

vFig. 4 is a perspective view of the heel member "of the attachment.

Referring. to the drawlngs, 2, designates a horseshoe, and 3 and 4: the heel and toe members, respectively, of the attachment which is applied thereto.

The heel member 3 is adapted to extend beneath the rearward portion ofthe horseshoe 2, and it comprises two bars or sections which are herein termed first and second sections 5 and 6, respectively. The outer ends of the sections 5 and 6 areprovided with upwardly extending projections which are adapted to engage the outer face of the horseshoe 2 on the respective sides thereof. The sections 5 and 6 are arranged side by side and they are adapted to slide longitudinally relatively to each other to adjust the projections 7 toward and from each other to fit horseshoes of different sizes.

The sections 5 and 6 have slots 8 and 9, respectively, formed therein; and the section 6 is provided with a pin 10 which projects fixedly from the inner end thereof a ilild e outer end of the pin 10 has a vertically extending bar head 11 which confines the first section 5 between it and the second section 6 and permits the sections 5 and 6 to be adjusted longitudinally relatively to each i i I j i Specification of Letters lat'ent.

other. Tn assembling the sections 5 and 6,

one; section is turned to an angle relatively "to the other to bring the bar head 11 into parallel relation with the slot 8 in the section 5, permitting the head 11' to be passed through the slot 8.

Afterward, when the sectionsare brought into parallel relation ship, as shown inf the drawings, the'head 11 holds the sections together. The sections 5 and 6 may be separated or disassembled by a reversal of the operation just described.

The section 5 is provided with a screw- 13 between which and the first section-5 the head 11 and nut 13. "The opposing facesof the sections 5 and 6 are provided with coacting teeth, as shown, to prevent relative longitudinal displacement thereof when the Thejf toe member l'is adapted to extend transversely beneath the forward portion of. .the 'ho'rseshoe2, and the sidesthereof are provided with. upwardly and inwardly. ex- I H tending projections l l'which are adapted to engagethe outer face of the horseshoe 2 on I the respective forwardly converging sides thereof, The toe member 4 has formed thereon a rearwardly extending arm 15, the

free end of which is screw-threaded and extends centrally throughand beyond the slots 8 and 9 in the sections of the heel member 3.

4 may be separated and the attachment removed from the horseshoe.

The heel and toe members are provided with suitable downwardly-projecting, antislipping calks 17 as shown.

I claim 1. In an attachment for horseshoes, a heel member adapted to extend transversely beneath a horseshoe and comprising two sections, each section'i having 1 an :lupwardlys extending projection. adapted to engage one 5 side of a horseshoe, said sections havin g co-acting teeth preventing relative longitu idinal vdisplacement .of the sections when clamped together, and said sectionsc being adjustable relatively to each other to adjust said projections towardand from, each Z other, .meenslt c amp sa d ion i d iferent positions of adjustment, ,a toe member having upwardly, extending projections 7 adapted to engagejthe;forward portion of a v s'e end sectio .1 ser wwbhreaded gri P ,J'ee ing fixed y jfr m th firs sectio a an through the slo inthe second. ewfiemann t nne on ate the last-named pi and .adapedao' secur sai sec i0n in-difiere {positions of adju nt, ,a te mem e ha ins upward y, ex endin mie tiene adapted to engage the forward port on of; ahorse howed meanete en ee a mem er '3,-..I,1 a attachment ferher e heeeia he member adapted to.t xten et ensverselylab neath (a ltllo s'hoe and co pris ng h firs ienaa id ,efl seeon g ecti-qilr eac s c on h nga slot the ein and a upw d y exend hglpreject n adap ed to enga o ide o hws she an sa s ctions'being di s eb erelative y to each ot er to .e 1
